Nice handling in dry after warm it a bit. Under wet conditions it became a bit unpredictable but normal for 285/30R20.
Treadwear looks great. At a price of other well known names you re buying 2 sets of these tires.

The Good :
Hot & Dry tarmac grip : It grips well, probably at satisfactory level... but Nitto Neo is better. But it is UHP type... that I can guarantee.
Wet tarmac - Surprisingly good (very good) hold and doesn't hydroplane much even through 1/2inch puddles.... before the thread hits 50% use.
Braking : Excellent.
Comfort : Yes. Soft sidewalls on 55profile. Goodly comfortable... this. UHP what?
The Bad :
Steering feels like it fell asleep for a moment, that steering response lag. Thanks to the soft sidewalls of these KU31s, you can't have that sharp steering response like you can with Nitto Neos.
The Sound of Tire when you're nearing 50% use and the tarmac's cold... but it's not so bothersome because if this start to start... it's a sign that the KU31s are in good grip period.
The ugly : ... I don't know...
Haven't seen any sidewall crack (Hankook Meo), swells (Dunlop D01), rubber chips (Michelin PS3) or deformation (Silverstone FTZ) yet on these rubbers.

Highly recommend this tire to anyone, who drives and corners with speeds above average. Its funny to read how people give this tire bad marks for comfort or snow driving. Its summer tire - its not supposed to be driven in snow, hence I cant give it bad mark for snow driving.
Grips very well in dry and wet, very predictable and precise. I only found out how well my car can handle with this tires.
What adds to the pleasure of having these tires is that you will pay 20-30% less than for "premium" brands and also it will last well.

1969 mustang vintage racer / 500hp / detroit locker
Very good level of grip that is consistent and reliable.
excellent turn in and great traction out of corners
if pushed HARD will drive predictably
very minor slip after 9 hard race laps from rear(sprints)
Great Value tyre - very forgiving in the wet and in the "marbles"
Grip improves after initial scrubbing.
